madbengal You called? Grin
My name does seem to have gone out of fashion. Can’t imagine why.....

Miles, too many Judes now, reminds me of jude the obscure or judas!

Blondie87 · 27/03/2018 19:24

I prefer Miles.

Jude. A million times over.

Jude. By a mile.

dogz happy to help! Hope no parents of Mileses too offended.

I wouldn't worry about it being in use. Two of mine have fairly unusual names and other something more common. The names all 'fit' together though and the less obscure one has a mug with his name on and sometimes meets other kids on the playground with the same name which he loves and makes the others jealous!

I like Jude

Hahahahahaha @moofolk! Brilliant. That’s exactly the type of comment that helps me sort my thoughts.
Deffo prefer Jude but was concerned it’s in frequent use currently. Don’t know if that’s an issue.

Jude .....not so obscure now but still cool 😎

moofolk · 27/03/2018 11:24

Not Miles. Or even Kilometres.

When considering baby names I imagine meeting someone with that name.
Jude makes me nod slowly and think 'cool'.
Miles makes me scream internally and think 'twat'.

Sophronia · 27/03/2018 10:54

Definitely Miles

Kpo58 · 27/03/2018 10:06

Jude.

I dislike Miles (and as Miles is a name, why do they never have children called Kilometres?)

Seth · 27/03/2018 09:52

Am biased as I have an 8 year old Jude. I still love it and wouldn't have chosen anything else Smile

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 27/03/2018 09:51

Jude. I'm not a fan of Miles
